Stock Screeners for International Stocks?

Recommended Posts

Are there any good stock screeners for international stocks?  I want to get coverage on all of the major markets outside the US, but particularly Australia, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, London, and European markets.

 

I'm a free cash flow investor, so a typical search might be to look for companies with price to free cash flow ratios less than 10, but additionally constrain the search on a requirement to have a high return on equity.

 

The tool would get brownie points if I could do calculations and compare those against my criteria.  So - for example - I might take the 3 to 5 year average return on equity, adjust that for the premium over book value, and look for that adjusted number to be over 15%.

 

Are there any free or commercial tools?  I am willing to pay money for this, but I am not willing to pay Bloomberg $25K.

 

A related question:  does anyone have a link to a file that contains a complete list of all of the Reuters Instrument Codes (RIC) for international stocks?  It would help me to size the universe I am trying to search.

I don't do screening a lot, but IMO FT has pretty good screener and underlying data for international stocks: http://markets.ft.com/screener/customScreen.asp

 

They support P/CF and ROE as filters. They don't have custom calculations.

 

Last time I looked in 2014, there were some cheap German stocks with highish ROE and low valuations. At least one of them almost doubled since then...

 

Anyway, good luck

@swissguy- is that your site?

Nope. (I'm sorry if I made that impression. Posting a link with my first post was probably not the best idea :) It's run by a company in Belgium called MFIE Capital. It's been recommended to me by a friend. But frankly, I haven't used it much as the user interface is quite buggy. I am considering switching to another screener.
